Today my sweet baby Katie-Cakes, aka The Cakers, aka Caker Pies, aka My Little Black Barrel with Legs, will have been gone two months. I am trying my best to remember the good images--sliding down the carpeted ramp on her butt, sitting on her butt and spinning for her other Mom and me, getting caught in forbidden territory in the yard and streaking back to Mom with that precious tongue hanging Anne1Texashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858306295259155417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261958037601669255.post-90245411047204860712013-02-12T09:29:00.001-06:002013-02-12T09:41:37.301-06:00Kiss-Me-Kate "Katie-Cakes" 10-12-99/12-12-12
12 January 2013
A month ago, at 7:20 in the morning, my blessed Katie-Cakes died quietly in my arms. She was 12. I had just taken her out, and when I stuck my head around the corner of the patio, she was just sitting on a stepping stone. I picked her up and brought her in and put her in her spot on the bed. As I got to the end of the bed, she cut her eyes at me in a way that made me stop, goAnne1Texashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858306295259155417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261958037601669255.post-53768369925116922632012-12-25T20:17:00.003-06:002012-12-25T20:17:38.756-06:00MERRY CHRISTMASAnne1Texashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858306295259155417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261958037601669255.post-12775947087827612092012-08-21T19:39:00.000-05:002012-08-21T19:39:12.681-05:00Voyages..I have been standing on the shore ofLove's boundless ocean, scanning the far horizonFor the little boat that sailed away so long ago.Her sails took her to shores I could not visit, andShe sailed over a horizon I could not see beyond.But Love never let that image go:The eyes of my soul were always Looking for her sails, waiting for the windTo bring the little boat back to shore.One day Anne1Texashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858306295259155417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261958037601669255.post-77980863081535370492012-08-14T18:44:00.001-05:002012-08-14T18:47:25.299-05:00

Sometimes
I wonder which side you are sleeping on and
If your hair is tousled, or if there are
Pillow case marks on your cheek.
Are you hugging a pillow like I do?
Have you gone through a dozen dozen like I have?
I wonder what wakes you up and
If you startle awake or slowly come into focus.
Do you stretch and thank God for making it
Through another night? Or smile as the

For The Anniversary Of My Death
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveller
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet,
Long live the weeds and the wildness yet.

She was 86. She was an All-American Leo, born 19 August 1918. Mom was popular AND kind. She was head cheerleader in high school, something I didn’t learn until she was 80; a woman came up to her in a restaurant and thanked her for being so nice to her in high school. The woman said she lived on a farm out of town and that Mom was the only girl who would Anne1Texashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01858306295259155417noreply@blogger.com0
